A “cell” with a selectively permeable membrane contains 0.02 M sucrose, 0.01 M glucose, 0.04 fructose, and 0 M lactose. It is immersed in a solution consisting of 0.05 M sucrose, 0.03 M glucose, 0.01 M fructose, and 0.03 M lactose. The membrane is permeable to water and to the simple sugars glucose and fructose, but is impermeable to the disaccharides sucrose and lactose. 45 minutes after being placed into the beaker, which of the following changes would occur?
